Inferencing Year 2 Unit

Give Year 2 students a practical, evidence-based way to understand inferencing. The teaching sequence introduces the relationship between clues, prior knowledge and a sensible inference, then models how readers infer feelings, settings, causes and likely next events.

Students apply the strategy through photographs, illustrations, short scenarios and original reading passages. Support, core and extension tasks make the unit suitable for a range of learners, while the Clue Quest game, exit tickets, editable quiz, assessment and rubric provide varied ways to practise and check understanding.
